Autocomplete Retrieves a list of values that matches the string entered in a text form field as the user types.
Callout Displays a callout or popup balloon, anchored to an HTML element with an onclick event.
HTML Content Replace Builds the JavaScript required to hook a content area (e.g., DIV tag) to a link, image, or other HTML element's onclick event.
Portlet Portlet-style capability from a AJAX-enabled JSP tag.
Select/dropdown Based on a selection within a dropdown field, a second select field will be populated.
Tab Panel Enable an AJAX-based set of property pages.
Toggle Uses images to create either a single on/off toggle or a sequential rating system.
Update Field Updates one or more form field values based on response to text entered in another field.
Area and Anchor Shows how to AJAX-enable any area of your page.
